Modernist fluid form in a highly-polished pendant of solid Sterling Silver, design inspired by the ground-breaking jewellery innovations of Scandanavia in the 1960s.

The one-piece solid Sterling Silver tork is $200.00 and is not included in the pendant price. The tork is very cleverly shaped, seems to fit most, is open at rear and easy to put on and off, and can be a vehicle for just about any pendant. It is a fine stylish Silver necklace in its own right.

Modernist Fluid Form in solid Sterling Silver Pendant.
From the very early 1900s the jewellery created in the western world was hugely influenced by Art Nouveau, characterized by organic flowing lines and designs inspired by the natural plant world. In the early 1900s the jeweller Georg Jensen of Denmark began refining Art Nouveau, stylizing it into simplified, strong, flowing forms and motifs, working mainly in Silver, and his work and that of those who followed him came to dominate western jewellery design, until the 1960s.
In the 1960s, and again beginning in Denmark, in the jewellery house of Georg Jensen, a revolutionary “modernism” in jewellery design exploded forth and found favour with the avant garde of Europe, and “influencers” of the calibre of Pablo Picasso were won.

The above Modernist Fluid Form pendant is an excellent example of the contemporary jewellery design of the second half of the twentieth century.
